Kevyn Aucoin

The Sculpting Powder

( 4g )

I've got this in Light, and it's wonderful. Just right for creating a bit of shadow underneath the cheekbones and jaw. It applies like a dream and once on it lasts all day. The four stars instead of five are because the packaging does tend to come open of its own accord in your make-up bag. I caught it in time, and so the product didn't get trashed, but I can see how it would be very easy to lose the lot if you're not careful. Bottom line - amazing contour powder, just not terribly portable.

I have very fair skin (finally found my perfect match with Fenty Beauty Shade 100). I could never wear contours. They just looked really unnatural or muddy. I LOVE this powder in light. Applied with a fluffy brush, it gives just the subtlest hint of color, which can be built up for a more dramatic look. With a stiffer contour brush, it shows up super pigmented. This is an amazing, versatile powder and is the perfect cool-tone contour for me!

I got this product in the shade Light as Im quite fair and wanted a subtle, buildable contour. This product is just top quality, giving you the best contour effect. Not too ashy, blends like a dream, never patchy or uneven. My go to contour. Worth the price as truly exquisite product.

I love Kevyn Aucoin make-up and this is one of my favourite products by him. This sculpting powder is so finely milled, highly pigmented and blends like a dream. You only need a small amount of product, as it has amazing colour pay-off. It sculpts the face and defines the cheekbones perfectly. I don't think I can ever go back to another contour powder. The pan/amount may be small, but it's so worth the money. And a little goes a long way. If you are undecided about it, give it a chance. It's amazing!

I'm light in skin and can get away with both light and medium. These are so blendable and fool proof, highly recommend!

Purchased in the shade 'Light' as wanted something subtle. It seems too lean a bit more grey than the swatches of medium shade but I blend it into my bronzer to compensate for that. Ultra pigmented so needs a light hand but blends out like a dream.

Very believable color - not orange and still not too brown. Medium shade works wonderfully when I have a tan but on my winter ivory skin I have to be super careful or it will look clown-ish. The package is small but will last ages since you need so little product to get the job done. Love!

This is really, the only contouring powder you need. Contouring is not for when you are in a rush, but when you blend this into your skin correctly it is heaven ! This is very powdery, so if you tend to throw your makeup products around, keep the pouch it comes with.

Oh this is lovely. I wouldn't usually spend this much on a contouring powder, but I love the Candlelight highlighter so much that I thought I'd give it a go. I'm glad I did! It's gorgeous and looks so natural. Don't let the soft colour fool you though, it's highly pigmented, so apply with a light hand.

This is my favourite contouring product! It blends perfectly, looks very natural and stays on throughout the day. Well worth the price, as it lasts for ever. Just a heads up, it's very pigmented, so you'll need a light hand.

The product is simply amazing - subtle enough to be used on pale skin, but defining enough to give you cheekbones you thought you would never have. Blendable, pigmented powder, simply top-notch quality product. The packaging however could be so, so much better. I believe it used to be in a much bigger case with a space for a brush, but has been repackages to follow the size of the pan. Not sure whether the older version was more secure since I only tried the new one, but the clasp doesn't work very well and always opens on its own. Unfortunately, this caused my powder to break in pieces when there was still about half of it left. Heartbreaking! I'd love to re-purchase, but would probably wait to see if they come out with better packaging options.

I read so many review from many websites and as it is quite pricey, I was a little reluctant to try it but I have to say, for me, this is everything I want in a contouring powder. I have pale skin and wanted something that was subtle, with no red/orange tones, no sparkle and that I can use as an eyeshadow too and this is exactly what I got. It has buildable colour, in ashy tones so if you build it up and use a good brush, this will accentuate yor cheekbones without trowelling on loads of make-up Kim Kardashian-style. It's expensive but lasts such a long time as you use so little, the little velvet pouch is cute and I honestly never want to be without this ever again! Buy it - you won't regret it!

I was looking for a perfect product for contouring and now I have found it. The sculpting powder has the perfect colour to contour my very pale skin.

Love the colour, texture and packaging. Easy to use. Happy

This is by far my go to product for sculpting, it gives such a natural shadow effect that works so much better than using a bronzer for cheeks in my opinion. I have to agree with the other reviewer who commented on the packaging, the clasp always pops open when the product is in my makeup bag and it greats very frustrating. Other than that, incredible product that I highly recommend.

It does not cake, it lasts for hours and is easy to apply. Kevyn was a genius!
